Taylor, in particular, was lauded for restricting dangerous Saints forward Riewoldt to just one goal. Contributing strongly for the Saints were Hayes, Gram, <a href="/wiki/Luke_Ball" title="Luke Ball">Luke Ball</a>, Jones, Montagna, <a href="/wiki/Steven_Baker_(Australian_footballer)" title="Steven Baker (Australian footballer)">Steven Baker</a> and <a href="/wiki/Brendon_Goddard" title="Brendon Goddard">Brendon Goddard</a>; Goddard continued playing with a <a href="/wiki/Broken_nose" class="mw-redirect" title="Broken nose">broken nose</a> and a fractured collarbone, sustained in separate incidents during the game. </p><p>There was a very high number of tackles laid during the game—partly due to the high pressure of the teams, and also exacerbated by the wet conditions are always conducive to high tackle counts. St Kilda's 118 tackles set a new record as the highest by any team in any game, the combined total of 214 tackles set a new mark as the second highest on record, and Bartel's 16 tackles matched the equal-highest personal tally on record—these tallies have all since been surpassed. </p><p>In general play, St Kilda throughout the first half earned 31 inside-50s to Geelong's 15, and was consistently able to stop Geelong's rebound through the middle. However, they did waste many of their inside-50s by missing relatively easy shots on goal and were unable to defend the fewer entries by Geelong. In the second half, general play was much more even but Geelong had the better of the inside-50s and clearances, and were better able to break through St Kilda's rebound defence.
